Theater of War Productions: Antigone in Ferguson

What happens when personal conviction and state law clash, and violence ensues? In this groundbreaking social justice project, a dramatic reading of scenes from Sophocles’ Antigone by acclaimed stage and screen actors serves to help bridge the growing divide between law enforcement and local communities across the US.

Holy Cross choristers join members of a community choir from Ferguson, MO, where the project originated following the police killing of Michael Brown, performing the choruses of Antigone set to gospel music.
